the companies that create GMOs, most
notably Monsanto. At every turn, Mon-
santo has interfered with research that
explores the harmful effects of Roundup®:
refusing to provide seed to researchers,
refusing to let farmers conduct experi-
ments with the seed, infiltrating the gov-
ernment and the FDA, limiting what re-
search is performed, blocking publication
of negative research, and professional
assassination of those scientists who dare
to publish research that is not favorable to
their business.
In spite of the opposition, there are
dedicated scientists working diligently to
uncover and spread the word about the
dangers of glyphosate and GMOs and how
they're impacting our society. Most nota-
bly are Stephanie Seneff, PhD, a senior
research scientist at MIT, Don Huber PhD,
Emeritus Professor of Plant Pathology at
Purdue University, Gilles-Eric Seralini
PhD, Professor of Molecular Biology at the
University of Caen in France and Judy
Carmen PhD, lead researcher at Flinders
University in Australia.
Jeffrey Smith, executive director of the
Institute for Responsible Technology, au-
thor of the books Seeds of Deception
(2003) and Genetic Roulette (2007), and
producer/director of the 2012 movie, Ge-
netic Roulette, and many others like him
are leading the charge for further research
and for more sustainable, less toxic farm-
ing practices.
After a closer look at the data that
these researchers and others like them
have been uncovering, it’s easy to see why
there is such a growing push for the
elimination of Roundup® and GMO foods
and, minimally, clear labeling of these
foods.
